iOS Journal, Week 1

Jan 14, 2018

I’m trying to keep a weekly log of what I’ve done toward my goal of becoming an iOS developer. I have to keep some kind of public record.

The week didn’t go as planned. No work done. Granted a few things came up, but a few things are always going to come up. This should have been an easy week, as I haven’t started my new job yet. Didn’t happen.

In the past this would really get me down. I’ve learned that being upset about past performance does nothing to help future performance. Just have to recommit and try to do better this coming week.

On a positive note, I wrote a Workflow script this week to take a YouTube playlist and get the titles and durations of the videos and output a Markdown list. While this isn’t anything like Swift programming, it scratches the same itch. And that itch felt really good to scratch.
